Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Connecticut. Before you start, educate yourself and reach out to a foster care agency. Social workers recommend that you and other family members in your home feel ready before starting your foster journey. Caring for a foster child takes time, patience, and persistence.
Contact your local licensed child-placing agency or attend an orientation meeting to learn more about what fostering entails. They will inform you about foster parent requirements, common obstacles you might face, and unique challenges among foster children. All foster kids have experienced trauma. Training teaches foster parents how best to help foster children manage their feelings and feel secure.
You must meet minimum state requirements to qualify as a foster care provider in Connecticut. Foster parents must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Offer a safe living environment
- Pass a police and FBI background check
- Maintain sufficient income to care for a family
- Complete the 10-week training program
- Provide a separate bed for the foster child
- Complete the Home Study process
- Have a clean driving record (pass a DMV check)
Kids of the same gender in a similar age range may share a bedroom.
Contact the Connecticut Department of Children and Families or a local child-placing agency for additional questions about foster parent requirements.

It has been a year since I've been to CHR. It's taken this long to come to terms with how badly treated I was. I'll just say that CHR is a business not a place to get therapy. They never did get my billing right and put a lot of stress on me.It was clear that they just wanted their money and didn't care where it came from even though they had all the information to get it from the proper place. Don't go here.

Never in my life have I experienced such poor organizational development strategies and systems. I have called today alone about 15 times and am consistently getting sent to voice mail. This is a regular occurrence, not to mention the turn over is atrocious! I am on my forth or fifth therapist within 3 years. I don't believe this organization has their employees or clients best interests in mind by what I have examined and overheard just walking through those doors. I've seen how the management in place operates and if I was in charge of the organizational development for that location alone, I would replace all management. I also know that this organization purposely brings the supervisors into HR discussions, which creates a intimidating setting for the employees. The employees are then told that there is no repercussions for being honest. When the employees are fully honest, they are rewarded by being terminated because they made their supervisor look bad. I am only here out of convenience at this point and will be leaving once the therapist I have now departs from the organization. Which I know she will because she is only there as an intern for 6 months to a year and I'm not looking to be placed with another 3 to 5 therapists in the next few years because continually restarting the process is not productive for your patients. I do have the CEO's personal email and will be directly contacting them on this subject matter as well. All organizational development systems need to be changed and updated to fit the culture of the incoming workforce and patients.

Customer service is lacking. I checked in and was told to go to Linda afterwards. Upon going to Linda, she rudely told me I needed to sit. A smile can go a long way, Linda.
